My friend and Sage business partner Gary Crouch from CS3 Technology in Tulsa, OK sent me this story from the Tulsa Business Journal.
The article details the fact that a local company Fee Technology Inc. has acquired a patent for "a mathematical process for creating a direct relationship between the prices charged to the cost structure of a business."
Correct me if I am wrong, it is called cost-plus pricing and the patented process is called multiplication.
